thurman can give it but doesnt seem like he could take it

[bluebeam]

you must be mental if you believe the class of fighter doesn't matter...imagine this forum if danny garcia had been rocked by body shot from peterson

You know how many fighters have been dropped or knocked out by lesser fighters?

The class of the fighter had nothing too do with the lesser fighter landing a great shot.

Ali getting dropped by Chuck wepner.
So it was wepner's class that dropped ali, not the perfect shot?

But ali took foreman punches, who is an A level fighter.

Again your body or chin could care less what the caliber of fighter is that is hitting them flush

Was My Point Exactly!

Seriously. You can tell the difference between someone that has been hit to the body and someone who hasn't. That body shot would have folded 90% of people. It was perfectly timed and perfectly placed.

A good body shot is a good body shot. It doesn't matter what class the fighter is that delivers it.

this!!!!!!!!!!!

Thurman moves way too much for a guy with his type of punch. I like him but he wasn't impressive last night and was very fortunate for that ending, which I still don't understand. People keep saying collazo took a beating in the 7th which I didn't see at all.

I don't understand that ending either and I wasn't impressed by KT at all. He used to be more exciting and offensive. Maybe it was his left hand??

[Southpawology]

Thurman CAN be hurt and dropped hes not god. Want to see him vs a big puncher someone like maidana

[JakeTheBoxer]

He can take it, if not he would have lost. Collazo isn't that bad, he went 12 with Mosley, Hatton, Berto and Khan.

Collazo was robbed against Berto IMO.

[mlac]

That proves my point. Micky Ward is a d class fighter. Class means nothing.

Prescott is a lesser fighter than maidana.

Yet khan took maidana punches, but couldn't take Prescott punches.

Class means nothing. A perfect shot is a perfect shot.

again, you struggling to understand.

what has micky ward being a journeyman got do with the fact his left hook was one of the best in boxing??

a perfect shot is not a perfect shot if the boxer has no power

you are clearly dim

[torosboxing75]

Thats my point, Maidana is tough SOB but he can be hurt.

Thurman being hurt by that body shot doesnt mean he 'cant take it'

Exactly! The only thing I didn't like was at times he was almost running. It really made it look like he was having more trouble with Callozo then Khan but different styles makes different fights. People don't get it but at the same time I see their point too. It just wasn't that impressive after what Khan did to Callozo. We need Thurman vs Khan to settle this once and for all.

for some reason Thurman was moving a lot more in this fight

for some reason Thurman was moving a lot more in this fight

Last 3 fights he has ran more, far too cautious now. I don't think he has too much confidence in his punch resistance. Good fighter when he lets his hands go though.

"one time" is more like "run time" now, i believe he has lost his fear factor.
